Cannondale Topstone

Aug 2025

A carbon frame gravel bike with high-end components and sram rival hydraulic disc brakes.

Highs
  • Kingpin suspension improves comfort and handling with minimal weight penalty

  • Slack head tube angle, dialed suspension, and upright riding position open up possibilities on single track

  • Does a great job balancing confidence/capability on technical terrain without sacrificing an energetic/responsive ride feel

Lows
  • Lefty Oliver fork is heavy and has inherent compatibility issues

  • Riders who prefer more traditional road-inspired geometry may find riding position too relaxed

Cannondale Topstone Carbon 1 Lefty AXS review: a superb evolution of a class-leading gravel bike, but I wouldn't pay the price to upgrade | BikeRadar

Mar 2025 · Warren Rossiter

The new 2025 Topstone Carbon delivers a class-leading technical-terrain gravel ride, but are the small updates enough to justify an upgrade?

Highs
  • Extremely balanced handling

  • Superb comfort

  • Great control over technical terrain

  • Udh dropouts

  • Stash port

  • Big tyre clearance

Lows
  • Not enough of an upgrade over the current bike to justify a change

2025 Cannondale Topstone Carbon 1 Lefty AXS 2025 – First Ride Review

Mar 2025 · Calvin Zajac

The 2025 Cannondale Topstone Carbon is designed to be the ultimate gravel weapon – but can it deliver on the trail with all its technical sophistication?

Highs
  • Excellent compliance thanks to Lefty Oliver and KingPin

  • Playful and intuitive handling

  • High versatility

  • Downtube storage compartment

Lows
  • At 9.88 kg, it’s on the heavier side for a gravel bike

  • Lefty Oliver fork limits tire clearance
